Funnybox Red Kimono Beauty Paintings by Haruyo Morita- Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles 1000 Piece for Teens and Family

The overall quality was not as good as on puzzles from companies such as Ruika, Buhoet, and Wentworth. Puzzles from these companies fit together nearly perfectly. Wentworth had the highest quality of all companies. Some of the pieces on this puzzle from Funnybox did not fit together as well and the facing came off the backing on a few pieces.

Weve never put together a wooden puzzle. Some pieces required a firm push to get in, but mostly the pieces went in easily. One piece came separated from its backing, but we glued it back together with a glue stick. No problem. It is a beautiful puzzle, comes in a pink mesh bag, and has blank balsa wood to fix broken pieces if needed. There is a bit of puzzle dust/tiny wood sheddings, but not a problem. It isnt too hard or too easy. There were no missing pieces. I have found with all our puzzles if there is a missing piece, we write the seller, NOT AMAZON, and the sellar always mailed us a new puzzle.

The puzzle is beautiful, but I am disappointed with the quality of the cuts. Many of the pieces have little wood splinters sticking up on them which make them difficult to place in the puzzle. We havent yet completed it, but in the letter H section, there are two missing pieces. We sort the pieces according to their letters and place them in ziplock bags. I have been through every bag and the pieces are not there. I hope, since we havent completed the puzzle, that no more pieces are missing in any of the other sections. Its a shame, because I know when finished, the puzzle will be as beautiful as the picture.

Gave it to my wife as a gift. She does puzzles as a hobby! She loves this Funnybox Red Kimono design and colors! She can segregate the pieces into sections which makes it faster and the pieces are made of a wood like material that fits well. The only thing she found was some pieces need to be trimmed, was not cut clean.
